His mother and sister, as was their
wont, followed him with their eyes till
he reached the larch grove about the
high field beyond which ,the view
from the house did not extend in the
direction of Coolbawn. Whether OH
foot OF on horseback, Brian was thus
lovingly watched every time he left
home. In fact, Mrs. Purcell was often
seen to hurry from her dairy, or where
ever else she might be--imp patiently
breaking from any one that might
chance to interrupt her-for no earthly
purpose but to gaze after the manly
form of her son. On these occasions
she usually stood drawn up to her full
height, with her arms akimbo, and,
altogether, we must admit, with an air
of consequence, as if she rather looked
down on the world in general.
The larch grove remorsely swallowed
Brian up, and his mother sat down by
her daughters workable. 1t was evil

woman's mind that troubled her, for
she pressed her hands on her cap sew
eral times, rubbed the smooth lid of
Kate's writing desk, twisted the thick
gold ring on her finger, and at length

SPEAK KINDLY

Speak kindly in the morning
When you are leaving home,
i And give the day lighter heart
Into the week to roam.
Leave kin(! words as me1nent0es.
To be handled and caressed.
And watch the noon-tide hour arrive
In gold and tinsel dressed.
Speak kindly in the evening,
When on the walk is heard
A tired footstep that ycn know,
Speak one refreshing word;
And see the glad light springing
From the heart into the eye,
AS sometimes from behind cloud
A etar leaps to the sky.
Speak kindly to the children
That crowd around your chair.
The tender lips that lean on you're
Kiss, smooth the f1a1en hair:
Some day room that's lonesome
The little ones may own,
And home be empty as the nest
From which the birds have hOwn.
Sneak kindly to the stranger
Who passes through the town,
a loving word lis light of weight
Not so would prove a frown.
One is precious jewel
THE heart would grasp in sleep,
The other, like a demons gift,
The rremory ioathes to keep.
Speak kindly to the sorrowtui
Who stand Reside the dead.
The heart can lean against word,
Though. thorny seems the bed:
And oh! to those discouraged,
Who faint upon tie way.
Stop, sop, ii just moment,
And something kindly say.
Speaking kindly to the fallen cnes'
Your voice may holp them rise.
A word right-spoken oft unclasps
The gate beyond the skies.
Speak kindly. and the future
You'll find God looking through
Speak Of another as you'd have
Them always speak of you.

She drew ring from her finger, and

father. There was another hurried
leave-taking with Brian; and Connor
Shea and his little son trudged briskly
up the hill to eyertake the melancholy
stream, which slowly, but surely, was
creeping on to the sea, and growing as
it crept on-.-for, ever and anon, little
tributaries of bruised and bleeding
hearts flowed into and on with it, on to
the sea.
The collision with the donkey cart had
broken q bolt OF one Of the carriage
springs. What was to be done? The
nearest smithy was two miles off. And
it was $50 DREADFUL to remain in that
lonely SPOT till the smith should arrive.
Brian could not do less than suggest
that she could walk to his house, and
wait there for the carriage.
sl3ut at such an unreasonable hour,
said Miss Evans.
That consideration need not influ-
ence your decision, Miss Evans,' said
Brian, as it happens, our people are
stirring by this time: my father and
sister are going with visitor to K,
where she must be before six o'clock to
meet the first train
This decided Miss Evans; She had a
great desire to see the visitor.

Il can scarcely say; but she is very
amiable.' She linked her arm in his,
but seeing his lip curl as she did so,
Withdrew it quickly, and, bowling her
head walked on in silence. He did her
injustice then. 1t was not coquetry
that prompted the act. In fact, the in
cidents of the last hour had reused her
to feel; and just then her better nature
almost predominated over the calculat-
ing worldliness which was the ruling
characteristic Of her disposition. At
this particular time she wavered be-
tween two suitors. One was the son
Of wealthy tallow-c chandler. who had
purchased all estate in the neighbor-
hood, and was doing the fox-hunting
squire in great style. The other was a
young officer, who would be the heir
at- law Of the Grindem Hall property
if Mr.. Oliver Grindem should not
marry. That 'sif' made Miss Evans
pause. If it were not for it the young
officers victory over his rival would be
easy.
But certain chords in her heart,
whic,, She thought she could control at !
will, began to vibrate unbidden, as she
walked along that well-remembered
mountain road; with Brian Purcell for
her escort She almost feared that if
he wooed at that moment he would
win. And were there no chords vibrat-

The Conditions Of Moral Growth.

In the recent debates at the London
University College Miss Mary Lowndes
made an able speech in support of the
theory that self-analysis retards healthy
mental and moral development In
the moral, as in the physical world.
she said, contemplation Of self was
apt to induce an abnormal condition
in the part under observation. and this
was fatal to healthy development The
opposer. in . speech Of considerable
eloquence. pointed cut that there was
no close analogy between physical and
moral growth. that the one was IN un-
conscious involuntary process. and the
other was not The primary condition
of moral growth. indeed, was the ex-
ercise of q faculty directly controllable
by the human will. and that was the
faculty of introspection. The discus
sion WAS carried on by Mrs Mallet.
Mrs R Garrett. Miss Heather-Bigg.
Miss Bury, Mrs. Bfooksbank and other
students of the college. and . resolu-
ton in favor of self-analysis was nnak
" carried.

A Famous English Woman.

After the Queen. the most famous
woman of the hour in England is Miss
Agnata Ramsay. aged twenty, the win
ner, as has been announced, of the
first place in the Cambridge classical
examination. Miss Ramsay has dis
tanced all of the male students, al
though she has studied Greek only four
years She is a granddaughter OF
Prof Ramsay. of Glasgow. and her
father was q double first class man at
Oxford. Miss Agnata was q pupil at
Girton College. Her triumph is not
the only female victory in medieval
and modern language. as in the exam
ination Miss Hervey, Of Newman Col
lege, stands alone in the first class of
that institution; Miss Tooke, of Newn-
ham. at the head Of the second class,
and Miss Young. of Girton. at the top
of the first class of her college. These
achievements. which are likely to lead
to the immediate admission of women
to the Oxford and Cambridge Universe
ties degrees, have dealt q tremendous
blow to the theory. tenaciously ad-
hered to in these institutions, that the

Co.edueation Of the Sexes.

In the midst of general friendly re
cognition of the success of women in
college, the Boston Herald has this to
say of the advance of co-education:
''Co-education has advanced faster
than any other feature Of education in
this country in the last decade. and. on
the whole, is found to work well.
Nearly every prominent college in the
land is now admitting young women
to its privileges. and the more the
experiment is tried the more success
fully it seems to work. The increasing
demand for the higher education of
women has forced their admission t.
cSllege studies. if not in all cases to

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
UNFAIR WAGES OF WOMEN

| The Usjuss Discrimination lGsds In wages
Paid to Women for Rsrforming Skilled
Labor.
Even when doing the same kind Of
work. and work which woman plain
| " can do as well as q man. the woman
invariably received less wages than the
man. In the manufacture Of cotton
goods the men mule-spinners received
one dollar and fifty-seven cents . week,
men frame-spinners received one dol
lar q week, and men ring-spinners
(the third hands) received three dol
lars and sixty-six cents q week more
than women received who did precise
" the same kind Of work. Girls, rs
spare hands in Keeling and warping.
earned five dollars and eleven cents a
week less than men, though reckoned
as second hands at the same work. In
the cloth-room women were paid two
dollars and forty-nine cents a week
less than the men. In the manufact-
ure Of musical instruments women &C
tion-makers earned six dollars and
fifty cents less per week than the men.
In the manufacture of paper. girl
fnishers earned four dollars and sew
enty-three cents less than the men, and
less even than the boys engaged. Men
proof-readers received twelve dollars
and forty-eight cents week more than
women proof-readers Women press
feeders were paid two dollars and sew
enty-nine cents y week less than the
men, and women book-compositors re-
ceived four dollars . week less than
men. In the manufacture of rubber
goods. women rubber-workers re-
eeived three dollars and fOrty-five
cents. and women spoilers received
two dollars and fifty eight cents a week
less than the men doing the same kind
of work. In the manufacture of wool
en- goods, women carders earned two
dollars and seventy-three cents, and
women spinners earned two dollars
and eighty-seven cents, and women
weavers earned one dollar and eight
cents less than the men doing the same
kind of work (l3th Ann. Rep, PIP. 422.
1867; and SO the story runs all
through.
1t is impossible to believe that this
uniform difference in wages paid to
men and women can be owing to any
similar uniform difference in the abil-
ity Of the operative to do the work.
Because many Of these occupations
are ones in which a woman would GER
tainly do as good work. and might
very naturally be expected to, and no
doubt does, excel as . worker, and yet
they always receive less than men,

THE CHRISTIAN IDEA.
A Noted Divins's Ideas on the Equality
Of the Sexes.

Noted Otvtne's Idoae ON the Equality
Of the Sexes.
According to the Christian idea, says
Rev. James Freeman Clarke, men and
women are to act together, in all in
dustries. all arts, all literature; in the
church, the home and the State.
What God has Joined together, let no
man put asunder." Mans nature arsj
woman's nature will always remain
different, but because different, COM
Elementary; each supplying what the
other needs. There are three ways Of
treating woman - the savage way,
which makes her 3 slave and drudge;
the Asiatic way, which makes her an
ornament and plaything; and the
Christian way. which makes her a COM
panion and fellow-worker with man in
all things.
In Christ Jesus "there is neither
male nor female" Let us not be
afraid of carrying out this Christian
principle to its ultimate results. The
result will be that woman will become
more truly womanly, more refined,
because better satisfied. and more full
ly unfolded. Society will become more
pure. the State more virtuous, the peo-
pie happier and better. When Jesus
forbade the divorces allowed in His
time, it was on the ground of the ideal
union of man and woman in marriage,
as making perfect unit. And on this
ground we claim suffrage for woman

gether as companions in the study.
